By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 1 at 9:12 PM Friday was a day meant to celebrate the Republican Party in the West Virginia Capitol.
Photos of the poster showed it next to a placard promoting ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated an anti-Muslim hate group. ACT for America did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The body’s sergeant at arms submitted a letter of resignation at the end of the day after being accused of a making an anti-Muslim slur during the dispute, according to West Virginia Public Radio and other local outlets. A doorkeeper was reportedly injured during a dispute with a member over the doors to the chamber.
Look no further, the GOP's anti-Muslim display likening me to a terrorist rocks in state capitols and no one is condemning them! https://t.co/0ouCaloWqh
Yet today Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(D) is spewing that USA Should Not Have Authorized Use Of Force Against 9/11 Perpetrators So gal-pals think alike?
Do we care? Is this something we're supposed to care about?
But the cops are pigs poster was just fine....🙄
So, when you openly make anti-semitic statements your opponents get excoriated by a gossip rag.
Lived there....this is WV....and they have Manchin ...
She should be deported.
anyone heard anything out of Ralph Northam lately?
But it’s ok to link Trump to a guy who murdered 6 million Jews. I think I get how the rules work now.
Hoax
Guess she can dish it out but can’t take it.
A democrat may have done this. Jussie Smollett’s case is still fresh on my mind
It's not islamophobia when they have killed thousands of Americans.
She’s a terrorist needs to be run out of office whatever we have to do 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jussie Smollett at it again
well, she is an anti-american terrorist.
If the hijab fits...
The truth sparks outrage in the new anti-Semitic “Democrat Socialist” Party. 🤪
When you are a self proclaimed supporter of CAIR, a pro-Palestine group whose leaders have ties to Islamic terrorism and the U.S. government lists CAIR as unindicted co-conspirator in funding millions of dollars to terrorist organizations like Hamas, this will happen.
Next time someone objects to labeling the Republican Party as a racist organization, point out the bit where no Republican delegates condemned this display.

Remember Republican stunts like this in 2020. That may be your last chance to make a difference.
Meanwhile the Trump administration snuggles up to the real financers of 9/11. Saudi Arabia. They finaced ISIS as well.
And the results of this stupidity, the courts call this election puffery?
Our Free speech will not be shut down by CAIRNational. This is the US, KEEPING OUR RIGHTS! Ilhan you hate The US.
And?
I'm more concerned with her antisemitism than a poster.

Kinda like attacking the Rebel flag.
So what....... It says never forget............
How did we let radical Muslims into our government? What is wrong with you liberals? Shame on you and your Anti-America rhetoric.
Racist, Bigot, Anti US, BS full of opinions about all except her home Palestine.... you bet we are going to push back against the true enemy of the state and
She is one dangerous woman... Keep an eye on her.. Strange things r going on in MI and MN
It doesn’t say she was involved, is says her election is proof the left have forgotten that Islam killed 2,992 Americans (24 Canadians) on 9/11. It defies belief.
She is a Trojan horse! USA wake up!
...I'm making a tragedy-a-day calendar where the standard is 'atrocities on par with or more devastating than 9/11, organized by white men', and throwing it at anyone who tries to pull this shit from now on. Must be the way they were raised.
Maybe many Americans don't see this poster as outrageous, but as a statement of truth. There are more sides to a story than just the one you believe.
The GOP can’t condemn what they endorse.
Come on people, if you don’t think this is a despicable move, and extremely racist move you’ll never think otherwise..
CarolYMorrisse1 What's enough, for Nancy Pelosi to get an attitude, quit putting politics ahead of country!? Oh yes, I remember, she made Omar apologize for a totally legit criticism of Netanyahu's corrupt Israeli gov. The Saudi Arabians caused 9/11, period, and we've yet to rectify that fact!!
Wish I could say I was surprised, but West Virginia
I hear she married her brother
NOT SEEING MUCH LIB MEDIA ON WPS BACK TRACKING AND OPED ON THE CLOVERDALE HIGH $250 MILLION LAWSUIT!
Let them crawl out of their holes. Easier to stomp them that way.
Truth hurts
She is the outrage
